1 Calorie Challenge In such a busy world, mealtimes often revolve around our lifestyles. As a result of this, we are doing a lot more dining out. When dining out, we are consuming many extra calories, primarily from fats and the larger portion sizes. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, dining out has been increasingly popular for Americans over the past several decades. In 1970, 26 percent of all food spending was on food away from home; by 2005, that share rose to 41 percent." The purpose of the Calorie Challenge is to provide workplace wellness programs with a tool that will encourage their employees to rethink their dining out menu choices. Employees will be asked to guess the number of calories in various restaurant food items and be STUNNED when they learn the actual amount! Calorie Challenge Includes: Employer Tips for Use Employee Handout: Healthy Tips for Dining Out 20 Calorie Challenge Posters 20 Calorie Answer Posters

2 Calorie Challenge Employer Tips Post one challenge a week in your company break room/s or employee kitchen/s. Clip a pen to the sheet to make it easy for employees to submit a guess. Post the poster showing the correct answer the following week, along with the name of the employee with the most accurate calorie guess. Post reminders, answers and winners on your company s internal/employee website, if possible. Provide a small healthy prize to the weekly winners. Everyone loves incentives! Pedometers, exercise balls, resistance bands and water bottles are a few examples. We have provided twenty weeks worth of posters. There are many ways to run the Calorie Challenge campaign. We suggest you run the campaign for five weeks, 4 times a year, thereby using each poster once in a twelve month period. This will give employees a break between rounds and keep the information fresh! We recommend you provide copies of the Healthy Tips for Dining Out handout to all employees!

3 Healthy Tips Tips for for Dining Dining Out Out If you are treating yourself to a meal out, here are some tips to help make it a dining experience that is both tasty and good for you. Will the restaurant: ASK! Serve trans-fat free margarine rather than butter with the meal? Serve fat free (skim) milk rather than whole milk or cream? Trim visible fat from poultry or meat? Leave all butter, gravy or sauces off a dish? Serve salad dressing on the side? Accommodate special requests? Use less cooking oil when cooking? Use only olive or canola oil when cooking? Provide a carry out container so that at the start of your meal you can set aside half of your meal to take home? Select foods which are: Steamed Garden fresh Broiled Baked Roasted Poached Lightly sautéed or stir-fried ACT! Adapted from Eating Healthy When Dining Out, a tip sheet by The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute in cooperation with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health.
